La DoubleJ Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear

“It’s all about love,” said JJ Martin during a walk-through of LDJ’s fall collection. It took place in a stunning frescoed salon at Milan’s Palazzo Clerici, where mannequins were arranged in a circle around a huge installation of massive rotating pinwheels. “We’ve transformed this palazzo into an energy elevation station,” said Martin. “These beautiful sculptures act as energy antennae—they even resemble DNA strands—and they have a galactic quality, bringing in a cosmic energy influence we’ve been exploring.” The cosmic energy definitely irradiated the collection, which keeps evolving at galactic speed every season. Scarf dressing was a new introduction, manifesting as foulards and fringed neckerchiefs built into tops, bias-cut dresses, robes, and overcoats. Prints enveloped LDJ creations in magical new motifs inspired by Mother Earth, featuring in-house-created fantastical creatures. “Fun-gi” paid homage to “the global underground kingdom of mushrooms,” symbolizing connectivity; “Nucleus” was a placed print drawing from the microscopic world of atoms and cells; “Camelot” depicted a golden stallion composed of a galaxy of creatures and botanical elements; “Monarch” showcased a majestic butterfly intricately formed from hundreds of sweet little animals.
